Get in the spirt of the season with the Town Hall Players

Peterborough This Week

The Beaverton Town Hall Players are offering up a heart-warming and humorous take on the holidays with their latest production.
'Christmas Magic,' which opens its six-show run on Friday (Nov. 17), centres on Doug, a stressed out teacher who's in the midst of shopping for a last-minute gift for his wife.
His quest is interrupted by the store manager, who convinces Doug to play Santa in exchange for a wonderful present.
It seems the regular store Santa has partaken in a little too much Christmas cheer and is indisposed, so Doug reluctantly agrees to step into the role for a few hours, despite his lack of affection for children.
The last child to visit on the day is Holly, who only wants gifts for her family and nothing for herself.
Doug's cynicism is shaken by the selflessness of her Christmas wish and he's troubled that he won't be able to honour her request. She's even written her address on a piece of cardboard so Santa won't get lost like the year before.
How can he keep the magic of Christmas alive for the young girl?
The tale, which is sure to tug at the heartstrings and kindle the Christmas spirit, is woven with classic holiday songs and carols.
Tickets for ‘Christmas Magic’ cost $15 and are available at Maxine’s in Beaverton and at the door on show nights, if available.
After opening night, the production also runs Saturday (Nov. 17), as well as November 23, 24, and 30 and Dec. 1.
The doors open at 7:30 p.m. on all show nights, with the curtain rising at 8 p.m.
